About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Cabling Installation & Maintenance is published by Endeavor Business Media, a division of EndeavorB2B.

“Faces of Psychosis” Shatters Mental Health Stigma Through Visual Storytelling

Shoreline, WA - In a radical fusion of art and advocacy, Shoreline-based artist Jairus Beane today releases Faces of Psychosis, transforming private hallucinations into a public catalyst for mental health reform. This groundbreaking visual memoir features 92 unaltered photographs, from the unsettling "Black Throne" (page 5) to the spectral "Santa Darkened" (page 67), captured during Beane’s psychotic episodes using a proprietary "curtain-style" technique. By converting auditory hallucinations into tangible images from ordinary household objects, the book reframes psychosis not as a threat, but as a profoundly human experience demanding societal understanding.

Confronting Stereotypes with Unflinching Imagery

Beane’s work surgically deconstructs pervasive myths about psychosis through startling visual testimony. The photograph "Flame of Love" (page 35) reveals embracing silhouettes within candle smoke, juxtaposing warmth with unease to challenge dehumanizing "dangerous lunatic" stereotypes. Similarly, "Lap Nap" (page 48) depicts a childlike figure resting in the folds of fabric, demonstrating unexpected vulnerability. These images transform mundane items into emotional conduits: crumpled blankets become grieving figures in "Diner Blanket" (page 31), while window reflections morph into crowds in "Front Door Reception" (page 38). Technical notes accompanying faint images, such as "Crack in the Door" (page 26), validate those whose subtle symptoms often go undiagnosed. "You don’t need medical training to grasp this," explains Beane. "Everyone sees faces in clouds. My psychosis amplifies that everyday experience into a language of survival."

Institutional Adoption and Real-World Impact

Mental health organizations nationwide are harnessing the book’s visceral power. The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) now features "Cotton Mather Conversation" (page 19) in anti-stigma workshops to demonstrate non-threatening hallucinations. Art therapists employ "Curtain Collage" (page 29) to help patients externalize their experiences through textile-based exercises. At UCLA Neuropsychiatric Hospital, clinicians analyze facial distortions in "No One Nose" (page 57) to enhance diagnostic sensitivity. Beyond clinical settings, community initiatives are flourishing. Over 4,200 submissions have flooded the #MyPsychosisFrame social challenge, where participants photograph pareidolia in daily life. Rural pop-up exhibits with Libraries Without Borders bring these images to underserved communities, while Seattle’s Roosevelt High School pilots "Browsing" (page 9) in mental health literacy curricula.

Scientific Validation and Cultural Resonance

Neuroscientists confirm Beane’s method illuminates brain function. His "curtain technique" photographing textiles under stress-induced perception documents how psychosis hyper-activates pattern recognition. The eerie figures in "Puppet Show" (page 43) visually echo Beane’s auditory moaning hallucinations, demonstrating sound-to-image neural pathways. "This isn’t abstract art, it’s a map of the psychotic brain," affirms Dr. Evan Reed of Stanford’s Cognitive Neuroscience Department. "Recurring motifs like clustered faces in 'Cotton Crowd' (page 20) could serve as measurable biomarkers." Cultural institutions echo this significance. The Seattle Art Museum will feature "Horror Strip" (page 95) in its upcoming "Vulnerability & Vision" exhibit, and the BBC documentary "Seeing the Unseen" uses Beane’s imagery to replace sensationalized media portrayals. Corporations like Microsoft now integrate "Observe" (page 58) into neurodiversity training, signaling a paradigm shift in workplace inclusion.

Resources and Global Accessibility

Faces of Psychosis includes actionable tools for diverse audiences. Step-by-step guides help communities host stigma-reduction book clubs, while clinician toolkits provide discussion questions for therapy sessions. QR codes throughout the book link to real-time crisis support services. "These photos are my testimony," Beane states. "When you view 'Captivating' (page 11), you’re not seeing monsters. You’re seeing my loneliness made visible." The book is available worldwide in paperback ($24.99) and eBook ($9.99) formats via Amazon and independent bookstores.
